2 The Study on the Integrated Tourism Development Plan in the Republic of Lebanon Final Report 4.5 Institution Building A variety of institution building activities are included in this master plan. The proposed Bekaa Valley Tourism Development Council will be an industry umbrella group to improve the product, and to undertake promotional efforts as a force bringing the Bekaa Valley theme to the marketplace [package BK10]. It will serve as the key partnership mechanism having in its membership private industries of the valley and also representatives from the different municipalities. Tourism committees are to be created within the municipalities serving as branches of the council. These committees will get the benefit of some training enabling them to think as destination managers, so that they will improve the urban environment and collaborate more effectively with the private sector. Proposed projects, however, do not pre-suppose the establishment of the Bekaa Valley Tourism Development Council. They can be started by existing institutions at least in the initial stage. Package BK1 proposes a case of institution building at the local level within city in which its tourism development committee receives training in project management and funding in order to then arrange grant funding for a variety of purposes to prepare the local population for tourism-related activities, and to promote the town so it draws upon the existing flow of cultural tourists to the Qala a, that currently bypasses the town. n a broader scale, package BK12 proposes the creation of a Run for Peace sports event by the municipalities of the valley, a joint effort to be coordinated through the valley s Tourism Development Council that will establish a favorable image of the valley internationally. Another institutional proposal [package BK10] calls for the creation of a valley-wide Bekaa Valley Handicrafts Cooperative to benefit a range of crafts men and women through training in design, production, marketing and through development of appealing labels reflecting distinctive themes related to the valley. The cooperative is the mechanism designed to extend these capacities across different types of artisans, in all different parts of the valley. 4.6 Program of Projects Recommended tourism programs and activities for the Bekaa Valley have been formulated as a logical consequence of strategies and considerations described in preceding sections. They have been combined into packages, based upon local and national development goals, market demand, and community supply including strengths, environmental and heritage resources. Recommended programs target existing and projected demand. Existing demand patterns ~ day visitors from Beirut, GCC/Saudi and Syria ~ are marketed to change from day to overnight visitors, spending more money in the Bekaa to benefit local communities. Important factors to most Arab tourists are good hotels and family and leisure activities: shopping, dining, hubble bubble, coffee houses, and traditional music and dance. These venues are strengthened by the proposed programs. However, Arab travelers, particularly from the Levant, Kuwait, Bahrain, man, and UAE, are 58
3 The Study on the Integrated Tourism Development Plan in the Republic of Lebanon Final Report increasingly interested in cultural heritage tourism, and the programs also strengthen these attractions. 3 The proposed packages below target existing and future demand through aggressive marketing and promotional strategies. New markets to be explored would include Russia and Asia s new industrialized economies including China, Malaysia, Singapore, Australia, and New Zealand. The implementing framework in the long run would be the Virtual Museum s Tourism Development Council, a public private partnership, of which the municipalities and villages (, Qaa, Zahle, Aanjar and Niha) would have branch offices. Local branches would promote local public and private attractions on their own and also link to MT through a public private partnership (possibly Lebanon Tourism Board), which would in turn link to national and international hotels, tour operators, travel agents, airlines, and other tourism service providers. The advertising strategy would link to Lebanon s embassies abroad and the Tourism Development Council would participate, either independently or through the Lebanese Tourism Board, in trade shows and the international travel trade press (including Middle East Travel which is headquartered in Beirut). Table illustrates the logic of the master plan, followed by project by projects description in templates. 3 Source: MT, WT, JICA Study Team Progress Report 59
